Color separations in Affinty Publisher?

[Peejee]

How can I check my color separations in Affinty Publisher? I still have to use an old Acobat Profesional unfortunately. Don't want a CC subscription.
But I would like to use the latest Apple OS and that is no longer possible with the old Adobe packages.

Hi Peejee

Unfortunately Affinity Publisher doesn't currently support colour separations. This has been requested on our forums previously and we hope to include this feature in a future update.

In the meantime I'll move your thread to the feedback section of our forums for our devs to see and consider!

During my work I often switch to Photo via the studio link to control the color distribution in the channels.

Hi Palatino, thanks for the answer. Very useful information. its works good indeed. 😀

Opening and viewing the Publisher file in Photo, and using the Channels window actually works! Could we please get a Channels window in Publisher?

There is one for any raster layer, just go to the Photo Persona. You can also see the entire page in the Composite section.

For CMYK that seems to be ok. But it is not working for any spot color. I'd consider it as another point on a very long list where we have to read "we are on it". And for a short moment you might think, ah, ok. But then you see, answer is from 2018. Or in this case Feb 2020. How time flies by these days..
